Has anyone seen the TV show "Babies Behind Bars"? It's on right now and it's breaking my heart, both for the mothers and the children.
It makes me want to stay in the USA and start some sort of program to help these women and their babies (childbirth education, free doula services, lactation consulting, adoption counseling, parenting classes, etc). Maybe someday in the future if we come back to America that's what I will do.
For now I'm going to call my local women's prison and ask about volunteering doula services at least for now while I'm here in the states.
Does anyone know anything about programs or charities or something for mothers in prison? I want to find out more about how I can help.
